Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), the
spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is the most important pest affecting
berry crop production worldwide. The global fresh fruit trade,
coupled with the ability of the larvae to hide inside the fruit
undetected until after transportation, facilitate their
distribution. SWD is native to Asia, but is increasingly found in
other regions: occurrences have been recorded in the Americas and
Europe, and Africa, and the insects have the potential to adapt and
become established in Oceania. Gathering the experiences of leading
scientists in the management of D. suzukii around the globe, the
book addresses D. suzukii monitoring; biological, chemical and
cultural control; sterile insect technique (SIT); integrated pest
management (IPM), and other control methods. It also discusses the
use of drones, GPS, biotechnology, telemetry and other
technological tools to make the management of this pest more
efficient and accurate. As such, it is a valuable resource for
scientists, professionals and students.
